Wikis
A wiki is usually a web application which allows people to add, modify, or delete content in a collaboration with others. Text is usually written using a simplified markup language or a rich-text editor.[1][2] While a wiki is a type of content management system, it differs from a blog or most other such systems in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users.[2]

Wikis are free when making a wiki Select K12.

I have used Wikis since 2008. Each year has seen changes in uses.

Key uses are:
Class Notice Board keeping parents in touch with what is happening.

Student draft book recording information in all areas of learning.

Audience for students to publish to.

Reflection by students. Modelling.

Recording assessment.

One stop shop to find web sites we regularly use. Students and teachers. Restrict that randomness of the internet.

Supporting parents at home.

Calendar for the day. Including internet links for group activities.

Information board: Health/Internet safety.

RTC collection.

Planning/Timetables.

Celebration: Awards/Certificates.

Morning News/Reflection/ Writing

Twiducate

twiducate is the perfect solution for elementary and secondary students. Rather than having your students sign up and enter an email address, you sign up and create a class code.
Using this code, your students log in to your class network.
Here, they can answer questions, collaborate on problems, and even embed pictures and videos. As a teacher you have full control over the network. You can even add other teachers!
